Countdown to gifts!

December is here and it always means LOTS OF GIFTS! Not for me, of course, but for others! I love buying gifts for other people – there’s something about finding that perfect gift for someone and then being overly excited for them to open it!

It’s not only about Christmas gifts… my dear fiance is turning 25 on the 14th and I still have to get him a gift! Aye… I’m doing a little online shopping today for some ideas. Well… online window shopping… or is it “online screen shopping” since I’m not technically window shopping?

Anyway… with the day off today I am going to do a little bit of Christmas decorating. Alex and I put up a few decorations but I know we can do so much more! So very excited… I love Holiday decorations! This time of year is so great… except I get way too cold and whenever I complain Alex likes to remind me that I grew up in Minnesota. As if that is some kind of excuse, lol…

Speaking of decorations: I made Alex and I our very first advent calendars!!

Isn’t it cute?! I made 2 of them… and they were incredibly time-consuming but I’m so happy with the way they turned out! Inside we have a mix of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Hershey Hugs (I chose the PB cups, Alex chose the Hugs). And props to my man who helped me fold the boxes AND helped me tie the ribbons! :) He’s a keeper for sure.

If you’re interested in making one of your own you can check it out here.

I’m off to do more decorations… and finally let Alex know what I want for Christmas.
